🌿 If You Dare to Be Whole: A Poem for the Brave

At Sweet Pea House Farms, we believe healing begins when survivors are seen, heard, and honored—not just for what they’ve endured, but for how they rise. Whether you’re navigating the quiet aftermath of trauma or standing tall in your truth, this poem is for you.

It’s written in the spirit of resilience, inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s If, and shaped by the voices of those who dare to be whole—even when the world tells them to stay broken.

If You Dare to Be Whole

If you dare to speak when silence feels safe,

And stand for truth though comfort says to bend,

If you can walk through fire without hate,

And offer grace to those who won’t defend

If you can rise when failure pulls you low,

And still believe your worth is not erased,

If you can plant your dreams where weeds may grow,

And water hope in soil the world displaced

If you can lead with kindness, not control,

And lift the broken without seeking praise,

If you can guard your peace and still be bold,

And shine with love in dark and crowded days

If you can hold your story with both hands,

And share it not for pity, but for light,

If you can build where no one understands,

And choose to heal instead of choosing to fight

Then you will walk with courage in your chest,

And leave a trail of strength where others rest.

💜 Why This Matters
